- Comment on What genre is DOOM? 2 weeks ago:
I’m guessing people saw the title and initially assumed it was going to be a low effort shitpost or something. I made that mistake the first time I scrolled past it. OP should add “[Ahoy]” to the title.

Yep. I think it came out yesterday.

Are you looking for an app, or an alternative website?
- Comment on Legend of Zelda 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, I think the original. I know its inferior to most of the other games in most ways, but I’ve found a lot of the modern Zelda games feel pretty shallow and formulaec. Not to say they’re bad, but none of them really feel like they stand out to me either - they’re just good games. The original on the other hand, feels very different from a lot of the games since then. The world is kept a lot more foreign and hostile both in terms of aggressive enemies and in terms of tutorialization. Its makes the exploration so much more rewarding, and when you do find a new item, that much more special.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 1 month ago:
I saw this posted a couple days ago which pretty succinctly summarizes the current state of the market.
That said, worth noting that these launchers and complex storefronts aren’t really needed either, which is part of why I don’t have an issue with Steam. If you have a good game, you can just sell it on your own website like Minecraft, League of Legends, or Tarkov. Steam’s biggest (or at least most universal) utility for developers is just that it provides very cheap, very effective marketing.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus (2024, dir Fede Álvarez) 1 month ago:
The lack of focus on the Xenomorph in the trailer is a good sign at least, imo. Hopefully means they won’t overuse it to the point that it ruins the tension.
- Comment on Predator 1 month ago:
Annoyingly, my cat has zero interest in spiders. Any other bug from silverfish to houseflys, she loves to hunt, but not spiders.
Guess what the one bug I’m afraid of is.
- Comment on Sons of the Forest 1.0 - Exclusive Trailer 2 months ago:
I’ve intentionally held off on spoilers so far, but Im really hoping once finished, Sons of the Forest will be a nice step up from The Forest. The original was so great in so many ways, but also had so many massive incongruities - esspecially with the content so focused around violence and the enviroment that had absolutely nothing to do with the plot.

- Comment on How does a SO feel different from a very good friend? 3 months ago:
Obviously relationships are messy and complicated and varied, but generally the big difference is a commitment to a future together. For example, committed partners might pool finances, or have a kid together - the sort of things that you plan on working together on the rest of your life.
- Comment on TomSka's Guide To Plagiarism (The Somerton Scale) 4 months ago:
The term was invented and popularized by file-sharers whose copyright indifference was frequently termed “stealing” - when it has little in common with theft of a physical object.
I could be wrong, but I thought the modern use of the term was coined and mostly popularized by Brady Haran (of Numberphile) and other YouTube creators, primarily using it to describe news sites taking and re-uploading their content. Still not usually claiming ownership, though.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 4 months ago:
Or Pheonix Point, where Epic bought an kickstarter game that was funded under the promise of releasing on Steam, GOG and potentially other stores and promptly made it exclusive - and this was in the early days when their launcher/store was in a much worse state too.
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 4 months ago:
I’m asking because I’ve personally found it far more hostile than Reddit (the only other platform I’ve put much time into). What I’ve mostly seen is that people downvote quickly and tend towards eliteism relative to Reddit. That said, I recognize that this could be just by instance or community, so I’m curious how others have found it.

- Comment on Light No Fire Announcement Trailer 5 months ago:
I’ll treat it the same as every other, if after a couple weeks once the hype has worn down the game actually fulfills the general schtick and seems to have learned and integrated its NMS lessons, then I’ll consider getting it.
I got NMS for ten bucks at the NEXT update and feel like I’ve gotten far more than my money’s worth. This title hasn’t proven anything yet, and I’ll wait for the truth before purchasing it like I do with every other game. It’s been this way since like 2013 when the industry started pumping out incomplete live service nonsense with seasons and battle passes.
Thats exactly my point. We don’t know any of that, and by just assuming that its going to be a great game and exactly whats promised from a studio that had previously lied frequently leading up to its last release. Thats why you don’t feed into another ridiculous hype train, and don’t pre-order or make day-one purchases. If they’ve actually learned their lesson and reformed, make them prove it before buying the game. I’m not saying don’t buy the game, I’m saying don’t buy in to the hype.
- Comment on Light No Fire Announcement Trailer 5 months ago:
The same people are at the helm, and they’ve managaed to make a massive profit by making up a bunch of stuff, releasing a broken, unfinished game and fixing it over the course of nearly a decade. What’s to say they’re going to do differently this time. If anything, they’re more likely to get a pass releasing an broken game now since it will probably eventually be what was promised at launch.

- Comment on "The Next Subnautica" aims to deliver underwater survival spooks in early 2025 5 months ago:
That feels awfully soon. I hope they can actually create enough new content for this, as Below Zero felt far too similar to the first. It felt more like a new game plus rather than a full-price sequal.

Guessing they accedently added the button early, for something they plan to do for the 25th anniversary in a few days.

- Comment on how do you even use twitter? 5 months ago:
I’m admittedly not the best person to talk about it, since I don’t really get the appeal, but in general, Twitter/Mastrodon is for following people you care about. Its largely about people rather than content or discussion, similar to a list of blogs rather than a forum. To find content you can look at tags (mostly to get a general pulse on the topic) but will mostly want to find people to follow, who’s content you want to read, such as friends, politicians, celeberties, or influential figures in your field.
Unfortunately personally, I found no one on Mastrodon that consistantly interested me (beyond a couple bots copying Twitter feeds) but hopefully you’ll have more luck.
- Comment on Are there any people who hates music? 6 months ago:
I know people who hate some music and are apathetic at best to all the rest, but I feel like theres enough variety that no one would hate all music.
- Comment on Is a scientific lifestyle even possible? 7 months ago:
We don’t need to know everything, we just need to know enough to make a decision off of. We see the same medication work 10000 times, we have evidence that we should use it. We see that a metal expand the same way when we test it 100 times. We can use that metal when we need something that expands consistently with tempreture. We don’t need to know everything because our lives doesn’t involve everything, and if we do discover something new, we either test it ourselves, or submit it to other groups to test.
- Comment on Is a scientific lifestyle even possible? 7 months ago:
No, but given enough people in the field and enough time, you can test most of what matters. You don’t need to test (and re-test) absolutely everything. Just enough to draw consistent conclusions for the decisions people make.

- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 8 months ago:
I don’t know about your location specifically or the specific age range you’re refering to, but at least where I am, school/college tends to start at like 8:00 am, and most students want to or need to work fairly busy jobs given the ongoing cost of living crisis. Considering that, it mean they can’t stay up late, and don’t have much energy to socialize compared to older generations. Although again, this varys by area and individual.
